[D16, EE, closed] Taking aim

[Dorgan Bruun]

Bruun nods, though that's unhelpful when he's standing behind her.

"Yep. Good. Now slide this hand," he gently lays his left hand over hers, and nudges it up higher on the pistol grip. "There you go. And you didn't cross your thumbs, which is good. Now," he steps closer and whispers in her ear, "A nice slow exhale as you squeeze the trigger, to help keep your hands extra steady..." It's a helpful tip, but he's also trying to unsettle her on purpose.

[Colette Rupelle]

Colette giggled at whisper. She tried to focus on the target. Bruun's closeness made her loose her focus as she tried to stop giggling. She took a deep breath and let out a volley. First shot was on target. The next was off as Bruun probably had let go of her arm when he saw how well that first shot was. She pouted as she focused again hitting the last target.

[Dorgan Bruun]

"That's it!" Bruun enthuses, probably too loudly for how close he's standing. "Close," he says of the second, and just "Yes!" for the third. "That's my girl," he says happily. And after a heartbeat, he freezes.

"Er, uh, I mean. Thatta girl!" And he raises a fist in celebration, while looking very concerned that he just said the wrong thing.

[Colette Rupelle]

Colette giggled at the faux pas. "Am I?" She chuckled. She wasn't really concerned about it.

[Dorgan Bruun]

"Well," Bruun tries to act like the whole thing is no big deal to him. "Reckon I'd like it if you were."

[Colette Rupelle]

She shrugged. "I can be... but you must share me." She giggled. "I have many friends... you know." Colette nodded giving him a wink.

[Dorgan Bruun]

Bruun looks shocked. Crestfallen.

"Oh. Uh... I..." He looks at the ground for a minute. He looks very confused when he faces her again.

"Uh, I knew you... have a lot of friends. Just not... friends," he emphasizes, still trying to process.

[Colette Rupelle]

Colette pouted and shook her head. Then looked up at Bruun and smiled. "You greedy Oso..." The girl chuckled. "How am I to spread my love and cheer if you have me all for yourself?" Colette chuckled. "Do you want to cage ze bird and make it lose its voice?"

[Dorgan Bruun]

Bruun looks at Colette with more than a hint of suspicion, but as so many times before, he can't keep a smile off his face in response to her smile. This time, it's definitely a smirk.

"Reckon you're right," he says, voice lower and slower than usual. He gently reaches up to brush her cheek with his left thumb, slowly, just once. "Hard not to be greedy for something so rare." As his hand comes down, he looks deeply into her eyes and says. "Maybe if we, uh, start slow on the sharing. Work up to it."

[Colette Rupelle]

Colette reached up and caressed his face. "Oso, I will..." Her thumb massaged his cheek. "Just remember, zere is lots of petite Colette to dedicated to you."
